Can't tell you which is the best one because I only needed to use one....

And it was the Couch to 5K from the Active Network, at active.com

It was not free, cost a few $...I liked it because you can listen to your own play lists...can choose from different trainers (voices) and has a easy to read display showing your progress.

I believe it was either a 12 or 14 week program.....but well worth it....

As a side not...I have tried running before I lost weight and I simply could not do it...too high impact with all that weight....so I did the elliptical. As the weight came off, and I took the elliptical as far as one possibly could, it was then I started on the treadmill....

There is also a lot to know about running...proper shoes, socks, common injuries such as "Black Toe"

If you or anyone is serious about running...go to a store that specializes in running equipment and get properly evaluated and fitted for the best shoes for you, which may not be the most expensive either.....but stay away from the department stores like sports authority unless you already know your feet....

I don't know the best app as I used podcasts, but c25k is awesome!! I started it this summer at 292 pounds and lost thirty pounds while doing it. I was never a runner and after the first week of the program I totally did not believe I could ever run three miles, but I stated with the program and low and behold. I did!! I was training for a half marathon before I got the approval for my band.
